As much as I love superheroes, I’ve hit the point in my life where I no longer watch the latest episodes of weekly superhero cartoons. I’m more of a movie guy these days. Luckily, Warner Bros. knows exactly what I like, and they’re delivering once again this summer with both a new LEGO DC Superheroes movie and an exclusive minifig: the LEGO Tricker Minifigure with Justice League Attack of the Legion of Doom DVD is now up for order!

After stopping at the LEGO Store and taking photos of all the new Summer 2015 Star Wars and City sets yesterday, I strolled away content with the knowledge that I was totally caught up on everything new in stores. Or at least–I was for about five minutes! Then someone posted a photo on our Facebook Page which sent me scrambling on a quest to Toys R Us: the LEGO Ant-Man Final Battle 76039 set has now been released in stores!

Because there are only a handful of LEGO Batman sets released each year, there are quite a few collectors who own every LEGO Batman set every released! But life is about to get a whole lot harder for any completists out there, because a new set has been announced that you can’t buy–you have to try to win it! It’s the limited-edition LEGO Bat-Pod set, limited to just 750 pieces produced!

Now that things have slowed down and I’ve had a chance to sort through the thousands of photos I took at the 2015 New York Toy Fair, it’s time for coverage to continue! While I talked about the spectacular LEGO Jokerland 76035 set a few weeks back, there was one more LEGO Batman Summer 2015 set publicly on display for the first time at the 2015 Toy Fair: the LEGO Batboat Harbor Pursuit 76034!

Over the weekend I saw all of the LEGO Speed Champions sets in-person–but those weren’t the only new sets I got lay my eyes upon for the very first time! My local Toys R Us had put out all of the LEGO Avengers Age of Ultron sets (except the LEGO Hulkbuster Smash, which I’ve only seen for order online so far), including a set that wasn’t at the 2015 Toy Fair: LEGO The Hydra Fortress Smash 76041 with Quicksilver and Baron Strucker minifigures!

When it comes to the question of “What is the worst-kept secret in major upcoming LEGO sets?” over the past few years, my immediate answer is “the LEGO Marvel SHIELD Helicarrier”. News of the LEGO Avengers Helicarrier set’s impending arrival has spread like wildfire for months, and every day someone has asked me when it will appear. Well, finally I can give a different answer today: the LEGO S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier 76042 has now been revealed!!
UPDATE 2/17/2015: The LEGO SHIELD Helicarrier is now available for order online! (Make sure you log into your LEGO VIP account, though, or it won’t show up!)

If there’s one of the LEGO Marvel Summer 2015 sets that’s been shrouded in secrecy far more than the others, it’s the LEGO Ant-Man set. This set wasn’t allowed to be photographed before New York Toy Fair 2015 today, and wasn’t shown at all at some events this winter. But today, it can finally be fully revealed: it’s the LEGO Ant-Man Final Battle 76039 set!

Even though we’re still nearly three full months away from its arrival, merchandising for the Avengers Age of Ultron movie is in full swing and Avengers 2 fever is on the rise! I’m not immune to Avengers mania myself, so when I saw the 76029 LEGO Iron Man vs. Ultron set available online early, I jumped at the chance to grab my first LEGO Avengers Age of Ultron set! My review? LEGO 76029 is by far the cheapest set in the series–but that doesn’t mean it isn’t awesome…

With this being a quiet week (following last week’s blitzkrieg of LEGO news), I can finally dig in and continue to look at more of the LEGO Winter 2015 sets that are due out in the next one to two months. And the sets receiving the most buzz are, of course, the LEGO Avengers Age of Ultron sets. You might say “We just got a LEGO Quinjet movie three years ago–do we really need another?” But having spent some time examining this year’s LEGO Avengers Quinjet City Chase 76032 set, I think the answer is a resounding “yes”…

With the copious amount of surprise LEGO products for the second half of 2015 that popped up over the last few days, I haven’t had a chance to sit back and talk about some of the newly-revealed hi-res images of the most highly-anticipated sets coming in the first half of 2015. Chief among them is the largest one of the LEGO Marvel Avengers Age of Ultron sets (no, the Helicarrier won’t be in the movie, so the LEGO Helicarrier doesn’t not count). Coming our way later this winter–it’s the LEGO Attack on Avengers Tower 76038 set!

Though January 2015 has been an expensive month for LEGO fans, filled with new exclusives and new releases in popular themes like LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Chima and LEGO Justice League, many collectors are still feeling a bit of a void as they await the first LEGO Marvel 2015 sets. Themed for Avengers: Age of Ultron, the first 2015 LEGO Marvel sets still won’t arrive until late this winter. But as awesome as the LEGO 2015 catalog photos of the LEGO Avengers Age of Ultron sets were, I know plenty of fans have been dying to see some crisp, hi-res photos of the LEGO Marvel Age of Ultron sets. And while we still have to wait to buy it, the LEGO The Hulk Buster Smash 76031 photos have now appeared!

It’s hard for me to believe, but it’s almost been an entire year since I was in New York City for the the New York Toy Fair 2014! But while there’s less than a month until I head back to NYC for this year’s event, the fun has already started overseas!
The London Toy Fair 2015 took place this week, and the news is rolling in–including confirmation that the long-demanded LEGO Iron Spider Man and Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales minifigures are coming in LEGO Marvel sets this summer!

Crazy as it sounds, I’ve known exactly what my first LEGO review of 2015 would be ever since the first set LEGO unveiled for 2015 last summer. Why? Because both sets are one and the same, of course!
While I’m way more a Marvel guy than DC, I’m a Green Lantern fan for life. And my favorite comic book villain of all…? Sinestro. So I ordered this 76025 LEGO Green Lantern vs. Sinestro set the moment it went up for sale online. Does it meet my expectations? Read on…
